Podcasts about relentless pursuit

We have all experienced the panic of losing something important. Our keys, our wallet, or our phone. Suddenly, nothing else matters until we find it. But what does God do when one of His people wanders? In the Parable of the Lost Sheep, Jesus reveals the relentless heart of God toward His people and challenges us to reflect that same care toward one another. Join us this Sunday as we unpack “God's Relentless Pursuit” from Matthew 18:10–14.

Summer in the Parables continues with Luke 15 as Pastor Chris and Pastor Lambert tag-team teach through the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Together, they explore God's relentless pursuit of those who are far from Him and the incredible value every person carries in His eyes.

Most leaders say they want growth, but what they really want is certainty. In this episode of The Uncommon Leader Podcast, host John Gallagher sits down with Rick Meekins—entrepreneur, strategist, media producer, and host of The Relentless Pursuit of Winning. Rick flips the traditional corporate mindset on its head with a line you won't forget: Sometimes you have to jump off the bridge and build the parachute on the way down.Together, they unpack how to align bold, courageous action with deep faith, unwavering integrity, and a clear brand message people actually remember. If you've ever felt pressured to out-produce the noise by automating everything and over-complicating your content, this conversation brings you back to the core human connections and disciplines that prevent leaders from settling for "good enough."Key Takeaways:

What separates discipline from obsession?And is love actually higher than both?In this thought-provoking and deeply personal conversation, Jay Doran sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, innovator, and longtime mortgage industry leader Jason duPont for a discussion that spans business, human potential, leadership, fatherhood, personal growth, and the meaning of life itself. From his early days delivering newspapers, building giant gumball machines, and working at Bank of America, to becoming one of the mortgage industry's most recognizable voices, Jason shares the experiences that shaped his relentless mindset and his belief that most people stop far short of their true potential. Throughout the episode, Jason explores:Why persistence beats talent every timeThe difference between discipline and obsessionHow fear quietly limits performanceWhy "scared money loses"The role vulnerability plays in building trust and relationshipsHow confidence differs from arroganceLessons learned from sales, entrepreneurship, and leadershipWhy struggle is essential for growthThe danger of complacencyWhat it means to become "indefatigable"Why love may be the highest level of human developmentJason also opens up about his childhood, his marriage, his journey through success and retirement, and the realization that fulfillment doesn't come from having enough money to stop working. It comes from building, growing, contributing, and helping others rise alongside you. One of the most powerful moments comes when Jason challenges conventional wisdom by asking whether the greatest expression of love is comfort... or struggle. That question becomes the thread that ties together a conversation filled with wisdom, humor, philosophy, and practical life lessons. This episode is for entrepreneurs, leaders, dreamers, high performers, and anyone searching for a deeper understanding of what it means to live fully, grow relentlessly, and pursue their highest potential.Because sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the world around us.It's the limits we place on ourselves.

In this episode, Natalie sits down with Keren Eldad — coach to some of the world's highest achievers and author of Gilded and the new Gilt Free — to unpack why external success never delivers the safety it promises.

In this episode of the Fog of Truth, Bart John and Justina delve into the complexities of disinformation, the role of media in society, and the necessity of critical thinking in navigating the digital landscape. They emphasize the importance of being informed and discerning consumers of information. But mostly is it about Amy Goodman and the great film that Carl Deal and  Tia Leesin made about her. In a world where mainstream media often prioritizes corporate interests over the truth, Amy Goodman stands out as a beacon of integrity and relentless pursuit of justice in journalism. The recent film "Steal This Story Please" explores her remarkable journey and the impact of her work with Democracy Now!, an independent news source that provides the public with uncensored information.  This blog post unpacks the key insights from the film and highlights why Goodman's contributions are vital to understanding contemporary media. ## About Amy Goodman Amy Goodman is the founder and executive producer of Democracy Now!, a groundbreaking independent news program that operates without corporate sponsorship. For years, she has dedicated her career to covering stories often overlooked by mainstream media. Her fearless reporting, especially in war zones and during protests, showcases her commitment to uncovering the truth and holding those in power accountable. ## The Relentless Pursuit of Truth One of the film's most striking themes is Goodman's unwavering dedication to her craft. From chasing down officials at climate summits to covering war zones, Goodman's tenacity is emblematic of her commitment to journalistic integrity. - **Why It Matters:** In an era where news is frequently sanitized, Goodman's approach provides a refreshing reminder of the essential role of journalists in democracy. - **Example from the Film:** The opening scene highlights her determination as she relentlessly pursues a government official for comments, showcasing her physical and mental stamina in the field. - **Common Mistake:** Many journalists may shy away from confrontation or challenging the status quo, but Goodman exemplifies the importance of persistence in reporting. ## The Importance of Independent Media Goodman's work with Democracy Now! emphasizes the necessity of independent journalism in today's media landscape. - **The Conventional Thinking: ** Many believe that mainstream media provides a comprehensive view of current events, but this is often far from reality. - **What the Film Reveals:** The film contrasts the coverage of major networks during pivotal events, like the 2008 Republican Convention, with Goodman's on-the-ground reporting of protests and grassroots movements. - **Why This Matters:** Independent media sources like Democracy Now! challenge the narratives presented by corporate news outlets, ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are heard.

Are you climbing the ladder of success only to realize it's leaning against the wrong wall? In this episode, Heather welcomes Coach Keren Eldad, an powerhouse executive coach for Olympic athletes, Hollywood stars, and global icons at JP Morgan and Nike. Keren is here to discuss her transformative new book, Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More. Together, they pull back the curtain on the "Gilded Cage"—a life that looks shiny and successful on Instagram but feels hollow, exhausted, or even abusive on the inside. Keren shares her raw personal journey from a high-stakes C-suite life in Zurich and a "perfect" marriage to a series of traumatic awakenings that led her to her innermost truth. In this episode, we explore: The Ambition Trap: Why the relentless pursuit of "more" often leads to burnout and failure. Perfectionism as Fear: Understanding that perfectionism isn't about high standards, but a "fancy word for fear" and a way to avoid suffering. Befriending Your Ego: How to separate yourself from your inner critic (or "Satan") and turn it into an accomplice for greatness. The Necessity of Suffering: Why there is no path to consciousness or enlightenment without embracing the struggle. Redefining Success: Shifting from "confidence" (which relies on external validation) to true self-acceptance. Whether you are a fellow "overachiever" or someone feeling the weight of societal expectations, this conversation offers a roadmap for stepping out of the cage and into a life of genuine fulfillment and harmony.

We've been living out of suitcases lately. Between officially opening up the West Coast and those back-to-back market visits, it's been a whirlwind, but it's the only way to really see how the brand is landing on the ground. On today's episode, we're recapping those travels and diving deep into the inception of Pursuit United Sakura Bloom Bourbon. We talk about the momentum we're seeing from one release to the next and how a successful launch like this actually dictates our LTO strategy as we start mapping out the calendar for the rest of 2026 and even into 2027. We also get into the weeds on the "finishing" craze. There is a lot of noise in the market right now, so we're asking the hard questions: Does a wood-finished product actually land better with the consumer than a wine, spirit, or even a honey-maple finish? Plus, we get honest about the "gut feeling"—could we tell Sakura Bloom was going to be a hit before it ever touched a shelf, or is it always a gamble until the first reviews start rolling in?Show Notes: Market Challenges and Opportunities Product Development: Sakura Bloom Bourbon Consumer Reception and Market Trends The Anticipation of Product Success Building Trust with Consumers The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection Future Product Strategies and Market Adaptation Learn more about your ad choices.

Bold Vision, Grounded Leadership, and the Relentless Pursuit of Purpose. In this deeply personal and strategic conversation, Corey Damen Jenkins shares the discipline, resilience, and intentional leadership behind his rise—from knocking on 779 doors to building a global design brand rooted in humility, creativity, and purpose. Corey Damen Jenkins is widely recognized for his exuberant interiors—fearless color, rich materiality, and a joyful sense of aspiration. But behind the visual confidence is a disciplined leader, strategic thinker, and resilient entrepreneur who built his career through persistence, focus, and unwavering belief in his purpose. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep In this conversation, Jenkins reveals the principles that guide both his creative and business decisions. His “toy box philosophy” of time management emphasizes prioritization and clarity, while his belief in editing—removing distractions in both design and business—ensures that his work remains intentional and impactful. Jenkins also shares the realities behind his success, including rejection, intellectual property challenges, and the pressures of leading a growing global brand. From licensing partnerships and product design to publishing and team building, every decision reflects his long-term commitment to protecting creative integrity and building something meaningful. More than a story of success, this is a conversation about purpose. Jenkins explains how staying grounded, hiring with intention, and embracing humility have allowed him to build not just a celebrated design firm, but a life aligned with creativity, impact, and service. Key Themes and Insights Purpose-Driven Career Transformation Transitioned from automotive corporate buyer to interior designer after a layoff. Launched his firm during the 2008 recession—one of the most challenging economic periods. Persistence defined his early career, including knocking on 779 doors to secure his first major client. The Toy Box Philosophy: Strategic Time and Energy Management Prioritize the most important commitments first. Apply discipline to protect creative energy and focus. Editing is essential in both design execution and business leadership. Editing as a Creative and Business Discipline Great design is as much about restraint as expression. Strategic clarity requires removing distractions and excess. Focus strengthens creative voice and brand identity. Leadership Through Humility and Intentional Hiring Values humility, integrity, and character over pure talent. Builds teams based on trust, collaboration, and shared values. Leadership grounded in humility creates resilience and longevity. Protecting Creative Vision Through Licensing and IP Strategy Strategic licensing partnerships expand reach while protecting creative authorship. Collaboration with global brands strengthens business stability. Intellectual property protection is essential in today's copy-driven market. Designers as Emotional and Strategic Partners Designers serve as advisors, therapists, and trusted confidants. Design has emotional, psychological, and lifestyle impact. Interiors shape not only how spaces look—but how people live and feel. Corey Damen Jenkins: “Success requires focus. You have to put the big priorities in first.” “Rejection isn't failure—it's part of the journey.” “Humility keeps you grounded and makes you a better leader.” “Design isn't just about beauty. It's about transformation.” “I didn't just want a career. I wanted a purpose.” Purpose Before Prestige: Corey Damen Jenkins on Building a Life—and Career—by Design Corey Damen Jenkins has built a career defined by bold interiors, fearless creativity, and unmistakable confidence. But the true foundation of his success isn't aesthetic—it's discipline, humility, and purpose. Long before his work appeared in books, product collections, and design publications, Jenkins faced the uncertainty of reinvention. After losing his corporate job, he committed fully to interior design, launching his firm during one of the most volatile economic periods in recent history. The early days tested his resolve. He knocked on 779 doors before securing his first major client—a defining experience that shaped his perspective on perseverance and belief. Today, that same discipline informs every aspect of his work. Jenkins approaches both design and leadership with intentional focus. His “toy box philosophy”—prioritizing the most important commitments first—guides how he manages his time, his studio, and his creative energy. Editing, he believes, is essential not only to great interiors but to building a meaningful business. As his influence has grown, Jenkins has expanded into licensing, publishing, and product design, carefully selecting partnerships that align with his values and protect his creative voice. Yet despite his success, he remains grounded in humility—a principle he considers essential to leadership, growth, and longevity. For Jenkins, interior design is more than aesthetics. It is emotional, personal, and transformative. Designers shape how people experience their homes and their lives. His journey serves as a reminder that meaningful success isn't defined by visibility or recognition. It's defined by purpose, resilience, and the courage to pursue a creative life with intention.

Be inspired to break the beta mentality off, and embrace the Kingdom Alpha God has designed you for. In this message your perspective will be recalibrated and your mind will be renewed as we continue in this journey of transformation becoming more and more like the person of Jesus Christ.

The winter olympics have returned, and if you've been listening to our podcast for awhile, you know we love the Olympics!The grit. The perseverance. The stories. Unless you've been living under a rock this week, you've probably heard of Lindsey Vonn's comeback.After devastating injuries and stepping away from professional skiing for several years (her last Olympics was 8 years ago), she chose to come back…at the age of 41.And not because it was guaranteed to end with a podium.But because she still had something inside her that wanted to try again.That's what this episode is really about.We talk about:What resilience actually looks like (hint: it's not pretty or linear)Why a comeback doesn't have to mean “winning”The courage it takes to return after injury, burnout, or disappointmentHow redefining failure can completely change your fitness journeyWhy the process is always more powerful than the outcomeAs runners, athletes, and humans, we all face seasons where things don't go the way we planned. Injuries happen. Motivation dips. Life gets messy. And sometimes we start to question whether it's even worth trying again.Lindsey's story reminds us: showing up again is brave. Trying again is powerful. And your comeback doesn't have to look like anyone else's.If you've ever felt behind, stuck, or unsure whether you still “have it” — this conversation is for you.Because resilience isn't about never falling.It's about deciding you're not done yet.00:15 Lindsey Vonn's Comeback Story03:37 Lindsey Vonn's Olympic Journey07:03 Public Reaction and Resilience19:50 The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence20:58 Facing the Fear of Failure22:22 The Journey Over the Outcome26:42 Embracing the Process31:39 The Courage to Continue40:01 Adjusting Goals and Embracing ChangeJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

If you're succeeding on paper but feeling flat, wired, or quietly exhausted, this episode will land. Executive coach and spiritual teacher Keren Eldad joins me for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the real root of burnout. We talk about the relentless pursuit of “more,” the hidden cost of being a high performer, and why peace and purpose start with better questions, not bigger goals.Keren blends psychology, Kabbalah, and grounded compassion to help you dismantle sloppy thinking and come home to yourself. You'll learn how to begin self-inquiry without overwhelm, why self-compassion has to come before growth, what Tikkun really means, and what to do when you're in a dark place.

Are you chasing every gold star, climbing every ladder, and nailing every "right" mark—only to find yourself missing out on real fulfillment and meaningful connection? The relentless pursuit of achievement can sometimes leave us feeling lonely, disconnected from ourselves, and trapped in relationships that don't truly nourish our hearts. When ambition runs amok, the cost may be far greater than just burnout or missed vacation days—it can lead to self-abandonment and relationships that feel more like a cage than a home. In this episode, you'll discover how overachievement and perfectionism can sabotage our capacity for genuine connection—and what it takes to turn things around. Through honest storytelling and practical insight, the conversation explores the hidden costs of self-abandonment and the steps toward reclaiming self-worth, authenticity, and aligned love. Whether you're feeling the grind of burnout or yearning for more realness in your relationships, you'll gain tools for slowing down, getting honest with yourself, and opening up to relationships that feel like home. Coach Keren Eldad is an Executive Coach, Speaker, podcast host and the Author of the new book: GILDED - Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism and the Relentless Pursuit of More.   Episode Highlights 06:18 The roots of self-abandonment: Overachievement and relationship choices. 09:12 Societal pressure and the pursuit of external validation in partner selection. 10:27 Personal story: From self-betrayal to reconstructing identity and worth. 16:07 Building healthy love: The learning curve toward self-connection in relationships. 20:39 Embracing uncertainty: Letting go of control and playing to win in relationships. 26:56 Yellow flags in relationships: Burnout, overfunctioning, and sexless marriages. 31:29 Radical honesty and initiating difficult conversations. 35:51 Centering yourself before addressing relationship issues. 39:54 Tools, coaching, and the path to authentic relationships.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Pause and self-reflect: Practice taking a mindful pause before reacting in relationships to better understand your true feelings and needs. Identify your patterns: Bring awareness to tendencies like overachieving or people-pleasing that may be impacting your connections. Prioritize self-worth: Work on recognizing and affirming your own worth, rather than relying on external validation or achievement. Start small conversations: When something feels off in your relationship, gently broach the subject with curiosity rather than jumping into confrontation. Read for growth: Incorporate reading transformational books by thought leaders to cultivate self-awareness. Seek support: Consider working with a coach or therapist to dig deeper into your personal growth and relationship patterns. Practice radical honesty: Begin being radically honest with yourself about what you want and how you feel, as self-abandonment only perpetuates dissatisfaction. Accept uncertainty: Learn to embrace the unknown in relationships, allowing space for vulnerability and authentic connection rather than controlling outcomes.   Mentioned Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self *Amazon link (book) Dare to Lead (*Amazon link) (book) Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough (*Amazon link) (book) The Work of Byron Katie (website) Brene Brown (website) Eckhart Tolle (website) Ram Dass (website) Louise Hay (website) ERP 494: Designing Love That Lasts: 6 Principles for Lasting Connection — An Interview with Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh ERP 174: How to Experience More Love in Your Relationship with Byron Katie 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Keren Elded Websites: KerenEldad.com Facebook: facebook.com/LiveWithEnthusiasm?_rdc=1&_rdr# YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCgGViwGVn_yrHkq3PQ9R_-Q Instagram: instagram.com/coachkeren/?hl=en LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/keren-eldad Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coached-with-coach-keren/id1467079024  

What if the most important signal of your long term health, recovery, and resilience isn't how hard you train, but how well your nervous system recovers? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with human performance expert Justin Roethlingshoefer for a deep, practical conversation on heart rate variability (HRV) and nervous system regulation.
